Agenda 03/28/2023 Item #16H1 (Resolution to establish an East of 951 Ad Hoc Advisory Committee)03/28/2023
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to adopt a Resolution establishing an East of 951 Ad Hoc Advisory Committee.
OBJECTIVE: To provide a forum for the residents of eastern Collier County to identify issues in the geographical
area lying East of CR 951 (Collier Boulevard) and north of I-75 (Alligator Alley).
CONSIDERATIONS: The geographical area lying East of CR 951 (Collier Boulevard) and north of I-75
(Alligator Alley) is currently experiencing rapid growth and development. I would like to create an ad hoc
committee composed of residents from this area to provide the residents a forum to discuss issues arising from this
growth and development. The proposed Committee would be composed of five regular members and two alternate
members who are appointed by resolution of the Board of County Commissioners. Alternate members may only
vote in the absence of one or more regular members. Members shall, to the maximum extent possible, represent a
broad base of residents and business and property owners within the geographical area lying East of CR 951
(Collier Boulevard) and north of I-75 (Alligator Alley). I would like to limit the committee to one year to see if it
proves valuable. If so, the Board could make this a permanent advisory board. If not, the committee would sunset
one year from the date of its first meeting.
The functions, powers and duties of the Committee were intentionally left broad. Experience with the Committee
will lead to a better understanding of the issues which most concern the community, and if the committee is made
permanent, a more detailed functions, powers and duties will be made a part of the ordinance.
There was previously another ad hoc committee known as the East of 951 Horizon Master Plan Committee, created
on July 25, 2006, for the specific purpose of facilitating public participation in the East of County Road 951
Infrastructure and Services Horizon Study. Once that committee had provided its recommendations to the Board
and was deemed to have fulfilled its purpose, the committee was dissolved on March 24, 2009.
FISCAL IMPACT: The County Manager’s agency will provide staff liaison and administrative support to the
committee, and a location for meetings. The full fiscal impact of this support is unknown at this time.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to form and
legality and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board adopt a Resolution establishing an East of 951 Ad Hoc Advisory
Committee.
